No disrespect, but I think $30 is just way to much to spend on a KO(unless it's like one of those Chinese or Korean high quality clones).

It's the same one that I and Falconhood purchased. The set cost me about $60 and I think there from South Korea or Taiwan. I've posted the pictures on page 1 in this thread and the quality for the KO's is one of the best I've seen...

Falconhood? Do you have pictures of the boxes for the "Machine Robo"?

by **Falconhood** » Thu Mar 29, 2007 3:03 pm

i threw the boxes away long ago. why?the artwork is not remarkable ...i might have some panels, i could scan for the artwork, if that is what you would like? these are plentiful at Big Lots

by **Falconhood** » Thu Mar 29, 2007 3:42 pm

i didn't find the pic for those, but i did find this...is this from some series, or is it scratch? these are "Quick Change Turbo-Fighter and Devil-Defender"

Thanks for posting the panels for me those are nice!!! How much did the KO's Machine Robos cost you?

by **Falconhood** » Thu Mar 29, 2007 8:29 pm

i dunno, i got them so long ago. you can find them at Big Lots or some flea market.
i can't find the other stuff...maybe over spring break i can find it if i didn't throw it all away.

by **Falconhood** » Thu Mar 29, 2007 8:36 pm

here is another, a Micro-Constructicon type...

by **Falconhood** » Thu Mar 29, 2007 8:51 pm

Just to note on those Machine Wars knockoffs, there are 2 variants of the red and white jets. They have the one on the box picture there, as well as one with it's red and white colors reversed.

I remember picking these up at a Big Lots a long while ago, too. They didn't have Hyper Police Robo.

These photographs were taken for another message board.

Space Warriors - Transformable Machine Fighter / Machine Robo Rescue - Hyper Fire Robo

Salvation In One Superduty Fighter Plane 01 / Machine Robo Rescue - Hyper Jet Robo

Salvation In One Superduty Gadder 03 / Machine Robo Rescue - Hyper Drill Robo

That's the best I can do. The MRR Hyper Jet Robo and Hyper Drill Robo KOs are both the same size as the originals. The Hyper Fire Robo KO is shrimpy, though. I regret buying them, because it only made me want the authentic toys even more.

Hi, by the way.

Hi, by the way.

Thanks for the pictures Fygar and Welcome to Seibertron.com!

Bigbadtoystore.com are selling the authentic Machine robo's from $3 - $40. The one I want to get is the "Blizzard Team" for about $60 and I can only find them on eBay...

I just got this shipped to me after winning it on ebay.

I now add another to my Jumpstarter knockoff collection. This one is a double sized, non-jumping, Topspin, with a friction motor instead of a pullback one. I'm considering what to call him. Maybe Fullbore? He's slow, but nearly unstopable.

by **DestronPrime** » Sun Apr 01, 2007 9:24 am

I recently bought from a Dollarama a Devastator KO! I think it's a shrunken mold but I wouldn't be sure as I've never actually seen a G1 TF :sad:

But it's okay because this one is in very good quality and my older brother says it's probably on par, or better, than the original! It's called Construx, I don't know if anyone else has seen it. I only have 4 of the pieces and next time I go to the Dollarama I'll defenitly check. Oh and it's a Dollarama exclusive. I might get some pics later.

How's the quality on the KO of "Topspin" and who is the figure on the left?

hehe the micro Devatator is sweet. I got the yellow/brown one from Big Lots, though

The Topspin knockoff is nice. It has a nosecone in vehicle mode that folds down that isn't on the original mold. It's solid. I seem to recall seeing it in a K-Mart in Roseville back in 1986 or so.

I found it on a site here too: http://www.toyarchive.com/Transformers/ ... Spin1.html

The one on the left is the Red Alpha Fighter from Mosepda/Robotech.

Yo, I was wondering, Is this KO of Devastator the same size of the original one? Also, Is it good quality?

News Credits: 49 · by **Scaleface** » Sun Apr 01, 2007 6:45 pm

Same size, as I recall, but all plastic parts, no metal, and it's missing 3 of the handguns.

For what these are, they don't look too bad although they are a bit on the expensive side.
